ping does not natively make those 'deductions', be it is easy to write a 
wrapper that does that for you. Something like:
case `ping -qc 5 $1` in
 *'100% packet loss'*) 
   echo "Target host $1 does not respond to ICMP echo requests."
 ;;
 *) 
   echo "Target host $1 responds to ICMP echo requests."
 ;;

More details about today (Wednesday) linux cluster lecture

2001-05-29 Thread Shaul Karl

Since I got these details only today (Wednesday) and in view of the fact that 
you might overlook the Reply message to my original announcement on IGLU front 
page, I am posting this to the list too.

Keep in mind though that contrary to `Moshe Bar's cluster product', the 
speaker is not representing any commercial firm.

If you are interested, the meeting will be held today (Wednesday, May 30th), 
19:45, at "Ulam Shlifer 2" in building #304 of the Bar-Ilan campus 
(http://www.biu.ac.il/General/campusmap).

All the above should be linked from IGLU front page too.

Tzafrir,

Installation of Cygwin/Xfree86 *used* to be non-trivial, but now it's
pretty simple.
All you have to do is to install Cygwin (one click from the cygwin
site), and then untar the Xfree binary archives.
I use it at our company to access a Linux server from Windows, and it
works perfectly. Especially compared to what we used in the past
(vncviewer+Xvnc... slow!).
I can certainly recommend Cygwin/XFree for production environments.

Re: IP Chains Rules

2001-05-29 Thread Isaac Aaron








  I had the same thing with bezeqint on ISDN.
  Everything went well until they installed a POP proxy (MiraPoint). I 
  know that Internet Gold uses the same equipment and have the same problems 
  with few of their customers.
   
  Fortunately, I have overcome this issue and can advise you to do one 
  of the following:
  1. Call inetgold and ask their support personell to tell you the IP 
  address of the exact mail server you need to connect to.
  2. Play with your MTU/MRU settings - after a while bezeqint blocked 
  direct access to the POP servers by forwarding them to the proxy using 
  their firewalls, and changing my MTU to 1152 (or was it 716?) did the 
  trick. Your MTU is probably 1500 or 1499 if you didn't change it, so you 
  can have a go with this.

Re: 2.4.4

  I have run the 2.4.4 kernel and runs flawlessly.
  As for what you stated on XFS, true, but it you don't use XFS, 
  then you wouldn't need any of the XFS tools, as with many other kernel 
  features.
   
  For example: How many people install ipchains, or ipvsadm on kernel 
  2.2? Still, the kernel manages to do very well without them. These user 
  tools are needed for control of these subsystems and when they don't 
  exist, the kernel has a default behavior (such as, being able to mount XFS 
  partitions).

This is a kernel. What can it depend on?

Assuming you have a proper compiler, binutils, modutils, etc. for 2.4,
there should be no problem using/building this spesific version.

Maybe you'll lack some user-space programs to exploit certain features,
but this is not exactly a dependency.

[Or am I missing anything?]

> Does anybody know whether a Cooker kernel can beinstalled under the
> standard version?

I suppose you'll want to compile it yourself. Either download the -source
rpm and build it, or (probably a better option) download the source rpm,
extract it, and run 'rpm -bp path/to/kernel.spec' . This will extract the
kernel and apply all of the patches.

The atvantage here is that by tweaking the spec file you can try to add or
remove certain patches ("try": because some patches depend on other
patches, and may need to be changed in order to be applied properly after
another patch was removed. Still, it is worth a try).

Hi,

It's look like you got your "table" parameter worng.
it shuold include only /dev/hda and not /dev/hda1
so your windows part on the lilo.conf have to look like the following:

other=/dev/hda1  #(or where ever your windows partiotion is. can be check
with fdisk -l /dev/hda)
lable=Windows
tables=/dev/hda

and don't forget to run "lilo" after you rewrite the "lilo.conf".

good luck

Wow.  Zillion things...

One example:

In one of the last Cookers (I don't know if the latest too), I saw
an XFS supporting kernel, plus a special XFS fsck and other user-
level programs for XFS. If you take this kernel and put it under the
standard 8.0, you don't have these programs.

There may be a different compiler, glibc, etc., in Cooker vs. 8.0.
